Even if it’s good, at this point the hype has reached such ludicrous levels there’s no way it could compete with it’s own image

I get people disliking corporate shill or scam accounts, but can we please not bring back the reddit thing where self promotion is universally shit on?
I looked at the app and this guy appears to be a small creator. I speak from experience when I say getting noticed as a small creator is really really hard.
If you don’t want to look at it, move on. Do we really need to shutdown someone down just for putting their work out there? 🫤

I had no idea so much had happened around that parcel of land

Yeah it was a really weird tonal shift. I’m sure it had to do with GTA being big that year or something.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
This is me pulling from my youth, but at the time it released I really disliked Jak 2 (sequel to Jak & Daxter). The first one was a wonderful open world action platformer, and while there was a bit of that in the sequel, a ton of it was this weird GTA-esque city map complete with a crime star system. I remember really hating those parts and they just went on and on.
- Comment on Dev at id Software says Microsoft 'burned a lot of bridges' in the industry: 'They fundamentally don't understand art, they don't understand games' 1 week ago:
I don’t think the article said it was only a Microsoft problem.
You’re right though, AAA execs don’t understand the medium in the slightest.

Yep, I agree. There’s no wrong answer, and language differs by culture.
- Comment on The perfect date 2 weeks ago:
While it’s confusing in a vacuum, it’s also just the way we say it out loud in american English (April 20, 2026), so it’s not that weird when you think about it like that.

Oh it’s not a criticism, sorry of it came out that way! I just think it’s interesting.

I feel like these microblog screen caps on a cute background are the 2026 equivalent of a framed quote cross stitch.

This, though I would rephrase and say that this makes them very wrong.

At some point businessy people just started saying"Happy whatever-day-it-is". Happy Friday was the only acceptable one. 😅

- Comment on Indie Dev Says Game Refunded 55,000 Times Via Steam Loophole 1 month ago:
I think that would be solved by making early access games have the normal refund window regardless of length. That seems reasonable as well.
- Comment on Indie Dev Says Game Refunded 55,000 Times Via Steam Loophole 1 month ago:
I think the short games get shorter windows would be completely reasonable. I’m sure that would even show up as a tag in the store, too, so it would be additional info for the buyer as well.
- Comment on STOP MOVING TO DIFFERENT CHANNELS 1 month ago:
There are only two servers I regularly hang out on. I think it’s no coincidence that both of them are very low moderation. People are relaxed so they chat way more in those spaces.
Having channels is fine, but worrying about everything staying on topic perfectly and micromanaging it chills discussion I’ve noticed.

Interesting, thanks for the answer!
- Comment on DOGE cut 20% of APHIS the agency that protects U.S. agriculture and now the screwworm parasite that wipes out livestock has returned to the U.S 2 months ago:
It already got too expensive for me to justify, so any more doesn’t really change the calculus 🫠

When something is eradicated, but comes back, how does that work? Was it only eradicated because of ongoing efforts from this agency?

Amazon really is remarkably bad at releasing games
- Comment on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Price Update - Xbox Wire 3 months ago:
That makes a lot of sense. I’m sure this latest duo was especially true for since 6 was so much better than 7.
- Comment on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Price Update - Xbox Wire 3 months ago:
Not that I care about cod particularly, but you’re not kidding. They’re yearly releases so that basically means you don’t get to play at all until the player base moves to the next one.

- Comment on Xbox Game Pass ‘has become too expensive,’ says Microsoft’s new gaming chief in leaked memo 4 months ago:
As far as I know it was a loss leader, too, as in they priced it lower than it would be profitable to take over the market before the hikes. So with that in mind it sounds like they’re pretty screwed.

From what I’ve heard they’re having trouble convincing devs to join so I think you’re spot on
